I know, I'm talking about the material used by Borealis. Personally I would like a retro style rubber. Sorry didn't mean to offend anyone.
Please, don't apologize. Unless you're Canadian, which is perfectly allowed. Otherwise, don't. Mark is just being a dick and failed to realize you mentioned more than just a "'frane" strap. Own that shit, dude.

Love to see a Marine Master style with a Marine Master adj clasp. Kind of like a Sinn, that can be cut to length.

So here is my issue right now. If I do some MM style straps with adjustability I might be limiting my market. I want to be able to make it work for as many people as I can. Heck I honestly love the look Graeme's SAS rubber strap but a little thinner and in 20-22mm.

Have anyone here owned one of the rubber adjustable straps and can comment on their longevity?

As long as it will fit a good deployant clasp would be my preference.
only accurate watches are interesting

I like the second one. 20 and 22mm would be great

A 22mm version of the Graeme/SAS strap would be great. Do one slightly longer (buckle side) than his 24's - do another in a smaller size for smaller wrists. Make sure it takes a 2.0 diameter spring bar, as those are more common and closer to stock size for many brands.

Agree with Ed, that strap is pretty much perfect and way better than ISO, just needs a longer buckle side to center the buckle .

We sell a ton of rubber straps, and you would hit an absolute home run with a rubber strap for Rolex that's fat all the way around and doesn't taper. It's the number one thing people mention when buying a RubberB/Everest. Give me a shout if you want some more ideas from feedback we've received over the years.
